Hey beautiful! What woman doesn’t wanna look good? And no matter how old we are, we try we best to look elegant. But at times we also tend to go for external cosmetic products to get rid of acne, spots or any other skin related problems. As we age, fine lines, wrinkles and spots are inevitable on our skin. This is a natural process that our skin undergoes.

It may not be possible to stop or reverse aging. But with the right skin care and a healthy lifestyle, it’s possible to reduce the signs of aging. Yes, you cannot get rid of these signs forever, even though a few products claim to do so. I have written an article about the scams of anti aging creams, check out to know about the science of aging and more! Of course, one can undergo surgeries, but why should aging be considered a bad thing? I don’t wanna look like a kid when I’m 40. Duh! The societal pressure I say. But that doesn’t mean I don’t like my skin to look healthy!

Anti Aging Skin Care at Home

It’s important to have a healthy skin over young skin, right? Also, one needs to understand anti aging meaning. Anti aging means reducing the signs of aging but one cannot completely get rid of wrinkles on the face. So, we have listed 10 super easy peasy homemade masks for glowing skin. These use ingredients that are daily staples that are right at home. Let’s check ’em out!

Note Before You Read

Natural remedies work differently for everyone, I tried these face packs on my skin, and I have dry skin. So please remember that everything I wrote here may not suit every skin type. Before you try out these natural home remedies, please consult with your dermatologist, and do a back-of-palm skin patch test before using them on your face. You may be allergic to a few ingredients and citrus may cause itching, so use sparingly.

1. Aloe Vera

Aloe vera is one of the best anti aging home remedies for wrinkles. It has zinc and vitamin E that reduce the pores and helps to have a youthful skin. It also acts as an effective natural remedy for pimples and acne as it reduces oiliness in the skin. Aloe vera also helps to improve the firmness of skin and keeps the skin hydrated. So, now you know how to reduce wrinkles on face.

You can rub the gel directly from the plant and massage for 2-5 minutes and let it stay for 10 minutes. Later, wash it with lukewarm water. You can use gels available in the market, too, but for best results, try using the paste freshly made from leaves.

2. Fenugreek Seeds

Fenugreek seeds are my personal favorite in the list of home remedies for wrinkles on face. I use them for my skin and hair, too, and the results are noteworthy. Read about fenugreek seeds hair mask in Men’s Hair Care Tips. They are a rich source of vitamin B3 that helps in recovering damaged skin cells and promotes the regeneration of new cells. The seeds also help to reduce age spots, hyperpigmentation, wrinkles and fine lines.

Boil 1 tbsp of fenugreek seeds in two cups of water. Allow it to cool by adding one more cup of water and leave it overnight. The following morning, grind the seeds by straining the water and add 2-3 drops of honey and apply it as a mask. Leave it for around 20 minutes or 30 minutes until the mask is dry. Wash with lukewarm water.

3. Egg Whites

Egg whites are yet another famous and effective ingredients for anti aging skin care at home. They help to shrink the open pores to give a smooth and youthful appearance. They are rich in proteins, potassium, magnesium and riboflavin, which help to repair and hydrate the skin.

Take one egg and separate egg white from the yolk. Add a few drops of lime juice to egg white, mix it well and apply to your face with the help of a brush. Let it stay for 20 minutes then wash it off with cold water. Try this twice a week to see visible results in your skin.

4. Bananas

Bananas are loaded with skin-benefiting nutrients like potassium and vitamins that will clear almost all skin problems. They improve collagen production, skin elasticity and fight damage-causing free radicles to provide a healthier skin.

Mash one ripe banana and add a few drops of honey and apply it evenly on clean face. Let it stay for about 20 minutes and wash it off with water. Honey helps to exfoliate and moisturize the skin. It also helps to remove dead cells and promotes the regeneration of the cells.

Use one banana for the mask and the other for your breakfast. Lol! Anti aging skin care at home is indeed fun. One of Shilpa’s grand-aunts has also been using banana peels on her face as a scrub for wrinkle-reduction.

5. Avocados

“How to make skin tight and glowing?” you ask? Well, avocados are here. Avocados are loaded with potassium, zinc and beta-carotene. They moisturize the skin and repair the damaged cells. They also promote the regeneration of new cells. The antioxidants and amino acids present in the avocado flushes out the toxins from the skin and prevents premature skin aging.

Take the pulp of one avocado and mash it to form a smooth paste. Apply it on clean face and let it stay for 20 minutes, then wash this anti aging face pack with water.

6. Olive Oil

Olive oil helps to tighten and firm the skin and makes an excellent homemade solution for wrinkle treatment. It is also a rich source of vitamins, minerals and natural fatty acids. It is easily absorbed through the skin pores and nourishes the skin. Take 2-3 drops of olive oil on your palm and massage thoroughly on your face and neck in a circular motion for 5-10 minutes. Wash it off with lukewarm water.

7. Pineapple

If you’re wondering how to remove wrinkles from face, then pineapples are great for wrinkled skin. Pineapple is loaded with antioxidants like potassium and vitamin C and prevents premature aging of the skin. It also corrects uneven skin tone, dark spots, pigmentation and age spots. Personally, I love this mask as I have a lot of pigmentation and this mask actually works.

Blend half cup of pineapple pulp to form a smooth paste and apply it on your face for 20 minutes. Wash it with lukewarm water.

8. Almonds

Home remedies for wrinkles include almonds, too. Almonds are the most basic ingredient in any cosmetic product. They are loaded with nutrients like vitamin C and E, iron, zinc and folic acid. They act as a powerful antioxidant, prevent the degeneration of collagen fibers of the skin and delay aging.

Soak 10-12 almonds in milk overnight. And blend into a thick smooth paste in the morning and apply it on the face. Leave it for 20 minutes and wash it off with cold water.

9. Papaya

“How to look younger naturally?” is the one of the most frequently asked questions by our readers. Papaya is the healthiest fruit for skincare and digestion. Papaya is rich in vitamin And acts as a strong antioxidant. It helps to tighten and firm the skin. Blend half cup of papaya fruit and apply it on a clean face. Wash it off after 20 minutes with warm water.

10. Coconut Milk

Women with dry skin have to deal with so many skin problems like itchiness, redness, deep cracks that may bleed and more. So, along with anti aging skin care at home, coconut milk soothes the skin and is an excellent remedy for dry skin. It is filled with minerals and vitamins that moisturizes the skin and keeps it soft, supple and radiant.

Grate half raw coconut and squeeze the milk using a strainer. Apply this milk using cotton balls and rinse it off with warm water after 20 minutes.
